Why is it that when I execute this code list is empty am i doing my asynchronous calls incorrectly? I have been moving things around and separating them into functions but still have a race going on between my execution.
The order I would like the to execute is in their nesting but I guess something is wrong because it is not working.
server.route({
method: 'POST',
path: '/convert',
config: {
validate: {
payload: {
fileUpload: Joi.object({
headers: Joi.object({
'content-type': Joi.string().valid(['application/pdf']).required(),
}).unknown().required()
}).unknown()
}
},
payload: {
output: 'file',
maxBytes: 209715200,
uploads:'./thumbs'
},
handler: function(request, reply) {
var newPath,
filename,
filenamePng;
fs.readFile(request.payload.fileUpload.path, function(err, data) {
filename = request.payload.fileUpload.filename;
filenamePng = filename.substr(0, filename.indexOf('.'));
newPath = __dirname + "/thumbs/";
fs.writeFile(newPath + filename, data, function(err) {
ChildProcess.exec('cd ' + newPath + ' && convert ' + filename + ' -thumbnail 50% ' + filenamePng + '_thumb_page_' + '%d' + '.png', function(error) {
fs.readdir(__dirname + "/thumbs", function(error, list) {
list.forEach(function(element) {
element = element.toString();
Thumbs.addThumbnail(Thumbs.thumbnailArray, {name: element, url: './thumbs/' + element });
});
var tmpFN = request.payload.fileUpload.path;
fs.unlink(tmpFN, function(err){
if(err){
console.log(err);
}
else {
console.log('/tmp/file deleted')
// reply(Thumbs.showThumbnails(Thumbs.thumbs));
};
});
reply(Thumbs.showThumbnails(Thumbs.thumbs));
});
});
});
process.on('exit', function(code) {
console.log('PROCESS FINISHED');
});
});
}
}
});
you should totally use async ( https://github.com/caolan/async ), it has several ways to handle the async calls, waterfall seens good for your problem:
async.waterfall([
function(callback){
callback(null, 'one', 'two');
},
function(arg1, arg2, callback){
// arg1 now equals 'one' and arg2 now equals 'two'
callback(null, 'three');
},
function(arg1, callback){
// arg1 now equals 'three'
callback(null, 'done');
}
], function (err, result) {
// result now equals 'done'
});
